As the FDA continues its targeting of supplement manufacturers, whole fresh milk producers and attempts to whip up a public frenzy over non existent threats over vitamins and nutritional supplements, the pharmaceutical manufacturers are getting away with murder and the FDA is not only aware of it, but helping to facilitate it.

Every year 700,000 adverse events are reported regarding psychotropic drugs [1] and an average of 42,000 individuals lose their lives as a result of these drugs and yet FDA has not closed one drug manufacturer or prosecuted any company for its part in the physical harm and resulting deaths that occur from taking drugs which are not safe even if strictly used as prescribed; drugs which the FDA gave its stamp of approval to. And never does the FDA launch a public panic campaign in an attempt to demonize drug makers, as they have with nutritional supplements, vitamins and herbal remedies.

Psychiatry and psychotropic drugs

Psychotropic drugs could have never become as successful and prevalent as they are without the approval and market access provided to drug makers by the FDA. Even so, it seems the field of psychiatry has not only been a willing partner in drug dealing, but has been invaluable in creating fictionalized disorders that it seems only they can detect in most cases, even in infants.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – Mental Illness, Disease, Health [2] otherwise known as the DSM, is being revamped to throw a wide net even over children and infants along with virtually every sector of the population. Describing supposed “diseases” which have no proven pathology, everyone is subject to being diagnosed with some form of mental illness and to be forced onto some kind of drug if not multiple drugs.

The drug industry averages 22.5 (conservatively) billion a year in psychotropic drug sales and the new DSM will escalate that average by now including mental illness diagnosis for pregnant women, military personnel, children and infants.

Disease mongering

New fantasy illnesses include:

internet addiction (25 million estimated to be suffering from this “disorder”)

compulsive shopping disorder, and

apathy disorder. This having been a promoted as a hoax some years back but now identified as a “disorder”.

“intermittent explosive disorder” (road rage). Gotten angry and upset in traffic? Turns out you are mentally ill, at least intermittently.

Social anxiety disorder (shyness)

These are just a few of the new disorders for which diagnosis requires not much more than the attending psychiatrist determines it to be so, but now you need drugs and lots of them.

The drugging of pregnant women has resulted in a 20-30% increase in the number of pre-term births. Newborns suffer from brain damage, lowered fetal birth weight, and can be missing limbs or have cleft pallets as a result of psychotropic drugs administered during pregnancy. While physicians rail against smoking or drinking alcohol during pregnancy which is understandable, they have absolutely no compunction for the most part, about encouraging the use of toxic psychotropic drugs during this same period.

The drugs most commonly prescribed to pregnant women are:

Prozac — 1,817 known side affects

Zoloft — 2,194 known side affects

Paxil — 2,497 known side affects

These drugs often times result in a worsening of the exact same symptoms they claim to prevent.

H.R. 20 from 2008 and again in 2009-10 [3], would have required all pregnant women to undergo psychiatric screening to see if they have a psychiatric disorder and are actually fit to take a newborn home with them, all of which could be dispensed with if they just agreed to take some pills and consent to in-home visits until they were “cured”.

Never is this more true than today. Apparently infecting our children and infants with vaccines that cause lifelong injury including neurological damage isn’t enough. Now we drug them into walking zombies for having a temper tantrum or crying or maybe even for becoming too excited from time to time. The idea that infants as young as six months old are supposedly diagnosed as having bi-polar disorder or some other fantasy diagnosis that can only be treated with massive amounts of dangerous psychotropic drugs is insanity.

What we are producing is a generation of drug addicted children who have been taught that the only way to deal with anything in life is to take a pill. The prevalence and illicit sale of drugs in our schools is not predicated upon known street drugs, but rather on the sale of prescription drugs. Yet the federal government along with the FDA continues its phony “war on drugs” when it is well known that the largest supplier of drugs to the general population are approved pharmaceuticals from major drug companies.

In too many cases, the same psychiatrists who sit on the boards determining what will be included in the new DSM manuals, also have major ties to pharmaceutical companies and stand to profit heavily from the advancement and proliferation of FDA sanctioned drugs. In any case, the diagnosis of phantom disorders for which there is no provable pathological evidence that could be used to deem these “disorders” as disease, continues.

So how does a disorder [disease] become part of the DSM if they have no pathological evidence that it even exists?

They take a vote. Yes……a vote among board members many of whom are tied to the drug companies. This vote is taken in lieu of pathological evidence that a disease is present. This is why all the syndromes, all the supposed anti-social behaviors are listed as “disorders” …you don’t need any empirical evidence that there is any thing inherently wrong, you just make a determination that YOU think it is indicative of underlying problems.

Dannemann is correct in her statement; we are raising a generation of intentionally damaged children. Obviously it wasn’t enough that foster children were leased out for pharmaceutical experiments using untested drugs or in virtually every state of the union, or that drug makers were/are paying schools as much as 500 per head for students forced onto a drug regimen, now they are targeting pregnant women so that the child can be permanently damaged during pregnancy.

No one is disputing the fact that there are obvious mental conditions that require assistance, including medications and that these have been observable even to the untrained eye. No one disputes the fact that many of these obvious conditions can be managed (not cured) by the administering of drugs which calm the condition and make management of the mentally ill easier.

What is objectionable is the contrived list of supposed fictional disorders created for no other reason than to sell drugs that cure nothing, and which pose a massive public health risk to everyone exposed to them.

We are creating a long range public health epidemic of damaged individuals who will require on going treatment for peripheral problems created by the administering of toxic drugs which are neither safe nor effective for any reason, and which are creating a generation of damaged an chronically sick people who will never be well.

The whole thrust of the drug industry is to convince well people that they are sick and to convince those who might be slightly sick that they are very ill…..and all of you need drugs. Lots and lots of drugs.

With federal agencies like the FDA becoming corrupt themselves, there is no way to enforce ethical practices on big pharma and high-prescribing physicians/psychiatrists. I hope people have enough faith in themselves to say “no” to those pushing “legal” drugs. Drugs sure as heck can’t replace loving parents or caretakers.

There is a place for Good medicine, but the drug industry has become far too lucrative to be trusted. A number of these drugs are virtually impossible to discontinue. Withdrawals can be dangerous. Vulnerable People become addicted through no fault of their own.

The majority of these meds only serve to ease things for the handlers of severely mentally ill. They DO NOT relieve pain and suffering…..they just make people and children dysfunctional. The article is in defense of people who actually DO suffer and are simply drugged into a comatose state rather than anyone actually trying to figure out what the real problem might be.

Nobody wants to pick up this story. I have a federal lawsuit pending because of it. I caught law enforcement and the hospital using denatured medical alcohol stating it was drinking alcohol in order for me to not be able to discharge my inflated medical bills pursuant to bankruptcy laws. After I caught them they dismissed the charges because I was labeled incompetent.

The reason these meds are successful is because THEY WORK! They relieve pain and suffering and I see nothing in this article that addresses the pain and suffering that the mentally ill experience. Another benefit gained from this type of thinking is the right to maintain hatred and/or ignore people who suffer from these conditions.

South America looks better all the time. It’s not polluted like the USA and Europe and not as cold and they don’t have the nuke plants and they don’t have the economic problems. The USA is not a nice place to live anymore. It’s very expensive and martial law is coming; How long will it last? What will they do in that amount of time. Whenever we invaded a country we have stayed, except for Vietnam. We stayed in Germany so our black soldiers could screw their women and now the local economy there is so dependent on the USA military bases they would beg us to stay. We just need a place to hide troops and make them think they are playing army all the time. Every other country their troops are on theri soil, because being on someone elses soil just seems like war or occupation.

IN Dorchester County they had a lot of drug use, so they told the kids that weekend they would bring in drug sniffing dogs and check all the lockers. The gave them a few days warning and they found zero drugs. Then they did the same thing a couple months later. So they didn’t want to find drugs and the proved it by warning in advance. This is how they fight the drugs. They stop people at checkpoints and search their cars, but can’t just send in drug sniffing dogs without warning them first. They want drugs in the country. If they didn’t they would send troops to Colombia and Bolivia and destroy their drugs and then keep some there to keep an eye on things. So they want drugs and only a select few are allowed to sell drugs. So the CIA is able to sell their drugs and they bust others to keep the price high, because there is a huge difference if drugs are $100 a gram as opposed to $20 a gram.

Methamphetamine is not a new drug, although it has become more powerful in recent years as techniques for its manufacture have evolved.
Amphetamine was first made in 1887 in Germany and methamphetamine, more potent and easy to make, was developed in Japan in 1919. The crystalline powder was soluble in water, making it a perfect candidate for injection.
Methamphetamine went into wide use during World War II, when both sides used it to keep troops awake. High doses were given to Japanese Kamikaze pilots before their suicide missions. And after the war, methamphetamine abuse by injection reached epidemic proportions when supplies stored for military use became available to the Japanese public.

Big Pharma has been around for a while. The corruption of what could and should be a profession with integrity…..started a long time ago:

200 million pills were given to soldiers during the War
Hitler’s propaganda stressed the importance of keeping fit and abstaining from drink and tobacco to keep the Aryan race strong and pure.
But in reality his soldiers were taking addictive and damaging chemicals to make them fight longer and more fiercely.
A study of medicines used by the Third Reich exposes how Nazi doctors and officers issued recruits with pills to help them fight longer and without rest.
The German army’s drug of choice as it overran Poland, Holland, Belgium and France was Pervitin – pills made from methamphetamine, commonly known today as crystal meth.
By the time the invasion of the Soviet Union was launched in 1941, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were doped up on it. Records of the Wehrmacht, the German army, show that some 200 million Pervitin pills were doled out to the troops between 1939 and 1945.
